Surah Ash-Shu'ara

كَذَّبَتۡ ثَمُودُ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ 141

Thamud denied the messengers

إِذۡ قَالَ لَهُمۡ أَخُوهُمۡ صَٰلِحٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ 142

When their brother Salih said to them, "Will you not fear Allah

إِنِّي لَكُمۡ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٞ 143

Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger

فَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ 144

So fear Allah and obey me

وَمَآ أَسۡـَٔلُكُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ مِنۡ أَجۡرٍۖ إِنۡ أَجۡرِيَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ 145

And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds

أَتُتۡرَكُونَ فِي مَا هَٰهُنَآ ءَامِنِينَ 146

Will you be left in what is here, secure [from death]

فِي جَنَّـٰتٖ وَعُيُونٖ 147

Within gardens and springs

وَزُرُوعٖ وَنَخۡلٖ طَلۡعُهَا هَضِيمٞ 148

And fields of crops and palm trees with softened fruit

وَتَنۡحِتُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡجِبَالِ بُيُوتٗا فَٰرِهِينَ 149

And you carve out of the mountains, homes, with skill

فَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ 150

So fear Allah and obey me

وَلَا تُطِيعُوٓاْ أَمۡرَ ٱلۡمُسۡرِفِينَ 151

And do not obey the order of the transgressors

ٱلَّذِينَ يُفۡسِدُونَ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَلَا يُصۡلِحُونَ 152

Who cause corruption in the land and do not amend

قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُسَحَّرِينَ 153

They said, "You are only of those affected by magic

مَآ أَنتَ إِلَّا بَشَرٞ مِّثۡلُنَا فَأۡتِ بِـَٔايَةٍ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ 154

You are but a man like ourselves, so bring a sign, if you should be of the truthful

قَالَ هَٰذِهِۦ نَاقَةٞ لَّهَا شِرۡبٞ وَلَكُمۡ شِرۡبُ يَوۡمٖ مَّعۡلُومٖ 155

He said, "This is a she-camel. For her is a [time of] drink, and for you is a [time of] drink, [each] on a known day

وَلَا تَمَسُّوهَا بِسُوٓءٖ فَيَأۡخُذَكُمۡ عَذَابُ يَوۡمٍ عَظِيمٖ 156

And do not touch her with harm, lest you be seized by the punishment of a terrible day

فَعَقَرُوهَا فَأَصۡبَحُواْ نَٰدِمِينَ 157

But they hamstrung her and so became regretful

فَأَخَذَهُمُ ٱلۡعَذَابُۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ 158

And the punishment seized them. Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ 159

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful

كَذَّبَتۡ قَوۡمُ لُوطٍ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ 160

The people of Lot denied the messengers
